The article then goes on to talk about how the "all-Sarah Palin-all-the-time media coverage" along with the McCain jump in the polls has the Democrat party on edge. I feel that they have a good reason to be on edge because right now the McCain campaign is on fire. They are receiving the much needed and, in my opinion, deserved coverage that was lacking earlier in the year.

What's more troubling for the Obama campaign is the "dramatic hardening of McCain's support suggested in the poll." His support has risen from 39 percent to 71 percent, which is very dramatic. The article then goes on to say that only 29 percent of people say that Sarah Palin makes them more likely to vote for McCain. Well, I would have to say that I agree with these 29 percent of people. Palin is something new and fresh which intrigues people. Plus, it was a daring move for McCain to pick Palin as his VP. I feel this has also help to put him in the spotlight more. 

All in all, I feel that the Democrats need to step up their plate because McCain will not be backing down now that he is getting more attention. If they want to stay ahead in the polls they need to make sure that Obama is played up in a good way; therefore, he will be able to get the media coverage that is crucial at this point in time in the campaign.
